Charles Thorne B1850 in 1871 GLS Census (General)

by Russell Thorne @, New Zealand, Friday, October 21, 2005, 04:16 (6980 days ago)

Would anyone able to search the 1871 GLS census for Charles Thorne born
1850 Blaize Bailey, East Dean to John Thorne and Amelia Bone of Newnham. His
parents were by 1871 in Ruddle near Newnham, but no sign of Charles at that
address. Cannot find him country wide in 1881.
He was the youngest of a large family, he does not seem to have married or
died yet according to FreeBMD.
Thanks for any leads,
Russell Thorne

Charles THORNE 1846 NEWLAND

There must be alot of interpretation to go from Newland to Newnham and since Newland also exists, then I tend to discount this one.

A quick question from a colonial far away, but is Newnham in West Dean?
I would have said East Dean but only because of the later Railway Map posted on this site which apparently differentiates the two.

Newnham "parish" shares a boundary with East Dean and Littledean.

This one is intriguing, I wish they knew how old they were. He was definitly B1850 so he should be 31 in 1881.

The 1850 birth record is the one, as ALL the other ones on this post, my confirmed cousins.
I have often wondered how Ancestry.Com would respond to suggested corrections to their transcriptions. I have seen the originals and know how hard it is to arrive at the correct transcription.
It is Thorn(e) and the birthplace for John Thorne is Stogumber in Somerset.

Anyone like to make a local comment about "Bullo Pill?"
I know that St Peter's Church in Newnham is not far from the banks of the Severn.
I agree with the "Under the Cliffs" interpretation, that seems to be used locally along the banks of the Severn.

I was only using "Bullo Pill" as an example of likely direction from the "hill" in Newnham with St Peters , of farm land...

Hello Russell.
I'm at a grave in the Mountain View Cemetery in Piedmont, California, USA.

I have Charles Thorne at rest Jan 23, 1914 with his wife Regina Thorne at rest Oct 14, 1947.

This url goes to a newspaper clipping with the obituary. It says Charles came from Newnham, Gloucestershire, England.

He died at his home 1339 Kansas Street in San Francisco.

It's a great spot under a tree.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kujen, and a warm welcome to the forum.
Thanks for your great post, and finally solving this puzzle after all these years. Sadly it seems that Russell is no longer active on this forum (his username being displayed black, not blue) - but hopefully he will still see your post in due course.

I've just tried finding more records for Charles Thorne using the FamilySearch site as it included USA records, I wonder if this might possibly be him ?.

Hi Jefff,
Thank you for the post, the US Census and naturalizations records are confirmed. The immigration records are variable and not yet enough to tie him to the FOD family.
Not sure how I will find a US marriage record for Charles and Regina, they seem to require a US county to start looking. I have tried a few German surnames which popped up in researching, but nothing certain. I will also try to find a 1947 California death record for Regina Thorne as the name seems rare and therefore worth pursuing. Not sure if they contain a maiden name.

Thank you most kindly for this information. I have checked all information available and it all seems to confirm this is the same person. Newnham and his occupation as a Tanner was the clincher.This is a big find for me, a brick wall has fallen.
